Through CRS Rice Bowl, this Lent we have shared the journey with members of our human family around the world, and committed our Lenten prayers, fasting and almsgiving to deepening our faith and serving those in need.
We want to thank all the parishes and schools who are participating in CRS Rice Bowl this Lent. Although we are still in the middle of the Lenten season, we would like to remind you to start planning how you will collect Rice Bowls from your parish or school community. If you ordered Rice Bowl materials from CRS, you have or will soon receive a packet with some ideas for this process.
There will be an upcoming memo from the Office of Finance with instructions on how to submit your CRS Rice Bowl funds. As a reminder, please separately track and submit the Rice Bowl collection (end of Lent) and the Catholic Relief Services second collection (March 31, 2019).
Included with this memo is a step-by-step guide with instructions and suggestions for how best to conclude your CRS Rice Bowl campaign.
If you have any questions about CRS Rice Bowl, please contact Jayna Hoffacker, Justice & Peace Ministries Program Coordinator, at jhoffacker@archatl.com or 404-920-7898.
